…..and that the pink was actual marshmallow, not icing…..

Correct!

I was looking for those “pillow” type biscuits, that had fig and fruit stuff in them, in the supermarket today, and nothing like them, appear to be on the shelves.

What were they called, and are they NLA?

I almost grieved when Lattice disappeared, mind you these had gone downhills in recent years. I used to loved the slightly burnt ones in the olden days.

So long as you don't remember when Vegemite was originally Australian owned. If you do I'm not sure you are legally allowed to drive at your age.

Fortunately it is Australian now (Vegemite that is). Maybe Bega might buy Arnotts one day.

Fun fact - the original Arnotts bakery is just down the road from us.
